A draw is obviously better than a defeat but to draw a match at the last minute like that is gutting. MITO is absolutely correct about ludogorets, they are really pants and for Rodgers and Henderson to say that they are a very good team and that it was a good performance with character is rubbish. Rodgers: 'we are not getting carried away.' Excuse me but did we thrash a top CL team? Did we get a point against Real Madrid ? No, we drew against the weakest team in the CL . We should be able to beat Basel at home. LFC are much bigger than them and if we can't beat them at home we don't deserve to go through.
No plan B? He has no plan A. He just rolls the dice after every loss trying something else hoping it works. This season it means changing tactics every week and tonight he's trying Roy Hodgson's world cup formation and tactics..........and most of those players too
Jeff Stelling on SS5: the German teams lost while the English teams avoided defeat. Is the balance of power changing ? Most of these German teams had already qualified and were hardly motivated. Bayern with 10 men dominated city. Apart from Chelsea, the English teams have been inconsistent at best...
No FFs they are gash they would get nowhere in the prem! From 60 mins in lfc were gone and done. No fitness at all. Rodgers steadfastly stuck with his main man when coutinho would have played that bunch for crao off the pitch That stuff was shameful really.... Mingolet threw one in... Lambert a goal was a complete joke as well.... All this does is put us in a must win game v Basel with zero hope of winning Our team is actually a joke, the lack of running about, the shaky defences, the timidness and safe playing are all nails in Rodgers coffin. He should be gone very shortly in my view but I expect lfc will let it go until there's very few options left and we are the dregs. I presume we are now hoping that real will beat that bunch of ****e in the last game so we can crawl into Europa shamefully and put some brave face on this learning experience The thing is I'm more annoyed my prediction league result was ballsed up than our cl chances cos frankly we don't deserve to go through... I predicted 2-1 and yet again lfc balls it up
Absolutely no faith in Rodgers now. We have Coutinho, Lallana, Markovic who can play in the position that Gerrard played last night. Rodgers is so desperate to play Gerrard. Rodgers kept Lambet and gerrard on for full 90 mins .. ridiculous. Not even going to go into the tactical implications of that decision because it just winds me up.
Rodgers will be lucky to make Christmas imo I don't see us really turning things around and feel that we'll go through a period of winning the odd game but also mixed with the odd draw and loss and will probably hold this league position. We then play the Mancs and there's only one way that's going at the moment and Rodgers will lose the fans completely at that point. It's a pity really that someone hasn't taken him aside and told him where it's going wrong as most people looking in can see it, I did a thread on the PL board to get opinions from other fans and it's all the same as is being said on here.
Well he's a youngster and you could argue he was for the future. I would question why we spent £25m on Lallana who is supposed to be top class, ready made first team player.
same with Lallana, but he cost more lol. dont think brendan has long left to be honest, a ****ing shambles is an understatement. do worry if we some how manage to qualify for next round, it will just mask over the problems and they wont be addressed.
That's great, but we shouldn't be spending that kind of money on potential future players, outrageous amount when you consider it. In fact most our signings were.
I would say the reality is much worse. there are 9 league games coming or so... if we win 2 out of those we will do well. be ready. this is going only one way so there's no point anyone deluding themselves that tis turns round cos the best we can hope for is about 8th.
Gerrard simply had to come off on 60mins. it was so so plain to see that that side would have been killed by coutinhos fast breaks and tricky feet.... absolutely travesty that we ended up defending for a draw when we should haave won by 2/3 if we were any sort of side.
leverkusen obviously. Loook LFC have very very little chance of having a euro night at anfield. I cannot see anyone making it a special night cos there is zero belief in this muck. SO the crowd won't be that up for it after about 5 mins of the game... (i'm sure at the prematch it'll be decent) Basel will beat us at anfield and progress on the basis of all we've seen. So... LFc can get a couple nobodies but its more likely to be a real side. Bayern or some such so..... the important thing however is that for the good of the country and our own co-efficient we need to man up and take it and get the **** on with it. CIty need to get through. arsenal have done the needful and are ready to get whacked next round and cheslea might win the thing.... so the reality is england needs to retain its 4 places and italy are the ones coming to take it off us.
